Club 80-90 Forums

Greg - Caravelle, with just the 3 row original seat with lap belts in back, fluffy shiny please as its my first run out on lanes. May have family in back, if not happy to take others for a ride.

Ian - Caravelle, scratchy and dented, up for anything inc. Friday night fun, if the roof tent will clear low branches (bow saw on board)

Rich - Camper. Nothing fiendishly scratchy preferable - though I'm up for most things. ATs. All seats are taken (Lisa, Finn and Ed), apart from middle of rear seat, though this doesn't have a seat belt. I can bring a buddy seat for when we're on roads though to make 5th passenger legal. We will probably leave mid afternoon Sunday.

Tim - Caravelle, not up for driving lanes as no engine protection yet, and its not at all a wader. A few towing strops and shackles could come with me if they might be useful.

Mr Mule: Doka with Vindic. Mud terrains. Standard saggy suspension and no non standard under carriage protection, but happy to take the rough scratchy routes. Not ready for any wading though please. Waffle boards, hilift, strops etc ready. Likely arrive Friday evening, and leave Sunday lunch time. Two spare seats.

PetenAli - Westy poptop. BFG ATs. Recently fitted Andreas springs. 2 spare seats if anyone wants. Likely to arrive Fri am (leaving Cornwall early to avoid exit of emmets and consequent A30 bottlenecks). Going to leave Sun pm as I've got to be in court on Mon (civil not criminal by the way!). As others have got cooking stuff sorted would it helpful if we brought the makings of a big enough salad with dressings? As far as lanes go - we do want to try something a bit more extreme however we are mindful of our trip to Fance at the end of the month and don't want to break anything so probably veering towards the fluffy side - although might be tempted on the day...

Torchy - 16" Doka on M+S (they'll be fine ) will have 3 spare seats spare (4 if Zara isn't coming), bringing the Doka this time so don't have to chicken out on the lanes like last time in the camper (thanks for the lift Clive.). Still need to get a winch but will bring a chain saw. Arriving Sat Am leaving Sun lateish PM. Is there BBQ on Saturday? If so what can I do/bring to help.

Emma and John - not at all shiney doka. Nothing other than a couple of lights on the cab. Never done anything like this before, so I think we are on the fluffy beginners route! As far as I know it has bash plates etc. General grabbers AT2 tyres fitted. CB will be present. John maybe navigating in another van, so will have two belted seats up front if anyone is brave/stupid (delete as applicable) to come with me!!

Yes, Rollercoaster £10 with hookup/ £8 without, stay around the edge for lecy hookup

Everyone: Pay Jenny inclusive whole visit on-site before you leave in cash please.

07713610629 for any last minute problems...

Ok chaps/ess's, Harriet and i are gonna pop in for probably friday and saturday.

Gotta leave to spend yet another week in a field building yet another festival on the Sunday though, so will have to bust on Saturday evening.

(Jenny - sorry ive not got round to getting that £10 to you yet, internet signals have been dire to say the least, shall i just bring it along to Devon?)

Look forward to it!

It'll be good to see you both, catch you at the weekend

All going well, spent the day at SyncroSpares, they did well to get to the bottom of my Subaru engine idle problem, they have two or three ongoing Suby conversions and seem to be aiming for high quality well thought out work specifically for Syncros.
There are some interesting projects there worth a look at.
Also stuck new boot on Front shaft, fixed electric window, van is much happier!
We are at the campsite now, staying tonight, leaving the caravan here and coming back for weekend.
Met Jacky who runs the site here and she is fine about it, lovely here but we have some buzzing around to do while this far up country in our smooth running Syncaroo!
See you all soon..
Brought some Cornish spring water for the weekend, help yourselves if you here before we get back, it's in the watercooler by the caravan.

That's fine Al - look forward to seeing you both.
